Engraving depicting 'The Man Bombshell': this act gave the impression that the acrobat was fired from a cannon by the force of an explosion. What really occurred was that a powerful spring ejected the acrobat just before a small charge was set off, giving the impression that the explosion was the cause of his flight. Dated 19th century
